sounds good. the dealer probably said 6g because they would probably replace the fairings with all new OEM fairings, theres 3k right there..haha

Get some good quality fairings from ebay, i hear some of them are near OEM quality these days. SLIDERS SLIDERS SLIDERS!!! i got them before i even rode my new f4i. I learned my lesson on my f3. keep her rubber side down from now on

Sounds to me you need more than sliders. Possibly MSF Course? And more experience. 80% of all accidents are due to inexperienced riders. Good luck on fixing up your bike. Looking forward to seeing the photos.

lol yea i did go down...brought the bike in march... go really cocky come sept...road with some stupid riders who think getting to the beach in 12 min is a good thing...considering when i take my vette down and have fun it takes an hour... but yea i saw another bike and jumped on it... got cut off...jumped on brakes and yup got thrown off straight foward...and i did take the MSF course...they dont teach you the stuff at 80 mph...plus when you see a big ol mini van in front of you you tend to just try to figure out a way to save your life... figured braking as much as i can instead of heading straight into a mini van worked...

SLIDERS!!! YES i need them lol... im salvaging the body panals and just trying to get upper cowl and front fender...im repaiting it all soo it dont matter on color... and i wont be riding like a fricken moron anymore... learned my lesson... human vs route 1....route 1 will always win!!
